in Getting Started
Hello all,

I am Melissa and have been on MFP for quite a while, although I've been off for a while. I decided to start to live a healthier life, which is an opportunity now since I'm working at home and not on the road all the time. Since I don't have any MFP buddies I am looking for buddies that want to do this with me! If you want, we can keep each other accountable as well!

A few things about myself:

Age:27
Weight: 118 kg (~260 lbs) and my first goal is to get back to the nineties! (~220 lbs)
Living with my bf and now working at home every single day :(! ####@ corona
Hobbies: diving, judo

Feel free to add me and let's do this together.

    Hey Melissa! Great job in staying motivated during lock down! I'm trying to do the same. I'm not "new" to MFP but this is the first time I look at the community tab so I feel very new haha.

    Hi! Thanks for adding me! I've used the community in the past, but that's been a few years ago. Let's end this lockdown a bit healthier than when we started! :D

    Hi all...I am more than happy to help motivate. I joined in 2015 at about 290 lbs and hit my goal about a year ago at 175 lbs...If I can do it, you can do it...(I'm a real food *kitten*....). If you want to send me a friend request, just mention that we met here on this thread...
    Y'all can do it...

    Hi everyone. I'm back again after being off for a while. Got a rude awakening since being in lockdown. Not walking. Bad knee means running it out of the question so I'm stretching and doing some at home DVDs. Here's to your success. Happy to add new accountability partners. Thanks!

    Hi everyone! I have lost around 42lb with SW but plan to get away from the groups and do this myself through calorie counting. Right now, it is more of a challenge to buy just SW friendly foods and after doing it for 2 years I just want to eat some different things but still mostly natural whole foods. So will be using lockdown time to really get to grips with taking charge of my health myself with calories and having a healthier mindset which isn't so scale obsessed!! Want to lose another 20lb gradually whilst eating healthy and indulging a bit too for a nice balanced enjoyable weight loss! Please add me if you want more buddies :)

    Restarting as well and looking for some buddies for inspiration and accountability.

    Have used the app a few times over the years but always end up burning out.

    Currently 15st 3 and looking to lose a stone first.

    Lockdown is helping me get back into excerise which will help start.

    Hi Melissa,

    Working from Home has been mixed - it started out being awful but now I am in a groove I find it is helping me

    Age:38
    Weight:298 lbs (first goal is lose 88lbs and ultimate goal is to lose 158lbs!) It seems so daunting!!!
    I live with my Husband, Mum (I'm her carer) and niece (22yo) and I do all of the cooking in the house
    Hobbies: Playing PC Games and snuggling with my doggo :)

    I have sent you a request, but I only started with MFP yesterday and I would love to create a great network that helps each other :) so please feel free to add me
